Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Vol 4 Chapter 59: The secret room legend, the attack comes again

"When you talk about the Chamber of Secrets, you have to talk about Slytherin, and when you talk about Slytherin, you have to talk about Hogwarts."

In the still warm sunshine in the afternoon, Clark sat in the library, giving lessons to Harry and Ron, while Hermione sat aside, doing her homework quietly.

"Do you all know the history of Hogwarts?"

Faced with Clark's question, Harry and Ron looked at each other.

"I asked you to listen to lectures in class, but you just slept there." Clark shook his head helplessly.

"A thousand years ago, that is, the golden age around 990, the wizards at that time, as a kind of extraordinary professional, were excluded by the clergy under the gods.

Because they claim to be the shepherd dogs of the gods, shepherd the lambs for the gods, and master the magic power, the wizards who are not under their control, naturally become their eyesores.

Under the propaganda of the clergy, the ignorant Muggle masses naturally began to be hostile to wizards.

They believe that wizards are messengers of the devil, and the spells they use are also borrowing power from the devil, so they call spells "magic" and frantically persecute those children who have just awakened.

So the four greatest wizards of the time: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin.

The four of them jointly established Hogwarts in the castle under our feet, which was also the first school of magic at the time to spread extraordinary knowledge for free.

Before this, the wizards used the old and new master-apprentice inheritance model. In this model, the apprentice is not so much a disciple as it is hard work.

That is, the academy model brought by Hogwarts, which made the profession of wizards flourish, and successfully persisted until the end of the Golden Age, until the Silver Age prevailed. "

Clark's words made everyone present feel proud.

"However, the establishment of Hogwarts was not all smooth sailing.

In the first few years of its creation, the four founders worked harmoniously together, looking around for young people who showed a talent for magic, and bringing them to the castle to nurture them well.

Slowly, however, as Hogwarts' influence grew, problems arose. "

At this time, even Hermione, who was doing her homework, began to listen to Clark's story attentively.

"Where there are people, there will be disputes, because the four founders have different educational philosophies, and the students they recruit are also different.

Gryffindors admire brave warriors, Hufflepuffs value integrity and loyalty, and Ravenclaw likes wise and learned children.

Only Salazar Slytherin, because he often lobbied among the surrounding forces and saw more persecution of wizards by Muggles, he especially hated young wizards from Muggles.

He hoped that Hogwarts would be more selective when it came to recruiting students, and that magical education should be limited to pure wizarding families. He was reluctant to accept Muggle-born children, believing them to be unreliable.

And just like that, the rift between the four founders, Slytherin and others, grew.

It was nothing at first, but when the number of students increased, the children below were also affected and began to follow suit.

So a school faction was formed, and when the little wizards began to target each other because of their different ideas and views, the contradiction between the founders also escalated.

After all, when the apprentices began to conflict, it was difficult for the teachers to stay out of the situation. "

Harry and Hermione and others nodded, they often had conflicts with Snape of Slytherin, so they were deeply touched.

"At one point, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a fierce quarrel over this issue because of the fight between the students below, and even got into a fight, and then Slytherin left the school in a fit of anger.

And after Slytherin left, there were rumors that he built a secret room in the castle.

According to the legend, Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that no one could open it.

When Hogwarts is betrayed by a Muggle wizard, truly in danger, and proves what he says is true, his true heir will come to the school.

Only his heir can open the secret room, release the horrible things in it, and let it purify the school and remove those who are rebellious and unworthy of learning magic. "

After the story was told, a group of little wizards were already behind Clark. They listened to Clark's words quietly, more seriously than in class.

Ron even praised: "Clark, if only the history of magic class was as interesting as you said."

Clark said modestly: "Professor Binns is a ghost after all. It's normal for him to be a little monotonous when he talks about the course. If you change the teacher, maybe the situation will be much better."

"It would be nice to replace you," Ron joked. "Unfortunately, I will graduate with you, otherwise you can give me less homework."

Clark smiled, "By your auspicious words, maybe one day."

At this moment, a Hufflepuff girl standing behind him asked, "Clark, what did you mean when you said 'the terrifying thing in the secret room' just now?"

"I don't know," Clark shrugged. "Many people think it may be some kind of powerful monster, and only the heir of Slytherin can control it."

Hearing his words, the classmates exchanged nervous glances.

"Clark, no loud noises or gatherings are allowed in the library!" Mrs. Pince waved her feather duster and began to disperse the little wizards.

But by dinnertime in the afternoon, Clark's words had spread throughout the school.

In the dining hall, the little wizards were eagerly discussing Slytherin's secret room, the heir to the secret room, and the monsters and treasures that might exist there.

Although many students have asked the professor and got the answer of "this is nonsense", they are not completely convinced in this regard. You know, the words on the second floor wall have not been erased. Woolen cloth.

However, they are not very afraid of the monsters in the secret room. After all, it is only a nasty pet cat who is hurt now.

Clark and a few people were sitting on the long table in Gryffindor, and a sumptuous dinner was placed in front of them. Today, the kitchen even made creamy lobster soup.

In the thick milky white soup, the large pieces of shrimp are delicious and Q bomb, and then match with the crispy garlic baguette slices, dip the soup into the mouth with bread, not to mention how delicious.

Clark even thought with a bit of wickedness that this might also be the professors' blood to appease the little wizard.

At this point, Hermione suddenly realized that Harry was not looking very well.

She was about to ask when Colin Creevey passed them and sat down opposite Harry.

"Hello, Harry!"

"Hello, Colin," Harry responded absentmindedly.

But Colin said, "Harry... Harry... a boy in our class kept saying you were..."

Before he could finish, Harry said in a slightly impatient tone: "I know, say I may be the heir of Slytherin, right?"

Ron looked at him in disbelief, "No, how could you be the heir of Slytherin?"

Harry remembered that Justin Finch, before dinner, had seen him in a hurry to escape, and his mood was even lower.

Hermione comforted him at this time: "Don't worry, no one will believe these rumors."

"Yeah, yeah," Ron nodded frantically, "but do you really think there's a secret room?"

Hermione glanced at Clark, who was burying his head in the lobster, ready to remind Ron.

"I don't know, but even Professor Dumbledore can't solve the petrification of Mrs Norris, so I think there must be something dangerous there."

Unfortunately, her kindness was doomed to be in vain, Ron just happily forked the lobster meat from the bowl and put it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Of course, around every treasure, there must be monsters guarding it. ."

The popularity of the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets continued for a while, but as time passed, the second half of the semester was one day less.

The little wizards had to devote more of their energy to their studies to prepare for their final exams.

At this time, Ron even more hoped that the secret room was real. After all, if there were real monsters in D, maybe their final exams this year would also be cancelled.

God seems to have really heard his request, a new attack happened at Hogwarts again, and this time the target of the attack is even more terrifying.

It was Colin Creevey of the school magazine who found out.

At that time, Colin, who had just taken pictures of the private rooms for several seniors, was preparing to return to the Gryffindor tower to rest.

He stomped up the stairs and turned to another corridor, where the light was particularly dim at the time, and a loose glass window caused a gust of wind to blow in and put out the fire.

Colin was halfway there when he tripped over something lying on the ground.

He got up and turned his head, squinting in the dim starlight to see what tripped him.

Then, Colin felt as if his body had been thrown into the icy black lake, and an indescribable coolness penetrated his body instantly.

Colin had never seen such a strange sight.

It was Peeves, who always liked to be mischievous. He was no longer milky white and transparent, but became pitch-black all over, like an ice sculpture made of black lake water, with a lingering mist.

Almost like a conditioned reflex, Colin took out the camera he carried with him and took pictures with a click.

The dazzling flashing lights dispelled the darkness in the corridor and made Peeves' condition more clearly visible.

As a ghost, he is now lying rigidly on the floor, with a terrified expression on his face, staring at the ceiling with big eyes.

After taking enough photos, Colin quickly stood up and calmed his beating heart.

"Come on someone~~ someone (ghost) was attacked~~"

Frightened screams echoed in the empty corridor, classroom doors on this floor were pushed open one by one, and the little wizards swarmed out.

During those difficult few minutes, the scene was extremely chaotic. Some people wanted to come forward to see the situation at the scene, and some people were so scared that they wanted to leave and ran in the opposite direction.

Colin found himself pushed against the wall when the professors shouted that they were late.

Professor McGonagall ran all the way and knocked with his wand with a loud bang, and everyone fell silent instantly.

She ordered everyone to return to their classrooms, and Peeves was carried to the hospital by Professor Flitwick and Professor Sinista from the Department of Astronomy.

Then, he began to question Colin.

Unfortunately, even if Professor Dumbledore came, he couldn't ask anything from his mouth.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, the professors had no choice but to confiscate Colin's camera and then let him go.

It was only the next morning that Peeves was attacked, and the news that he was now lying in the hospital had spread throughout the school.

Along with it, there are new words left on the scene.

Yes, because of the light, Colin didn't notice that there was a line of words left by the murderer on the wall:

"The secret room has been opened, the heir is about to get the treasure, and everyone who is his enemy, be alert!"

As soon as this line of words was discovered, rumors spread in the school, and everyone was suspicious.

Compared with the petrification of Mrs. Norris before, what happened to Peeves is even more frightening. After all, he is a ghost who has died once.

How terrifying it is to kill a ghost that is too dead to die.

Moreover, you must know that this ghost firmly occupies the first place in "The Most Hateful Thing at Hogwarts", and in terms of fame, he is much higher than Mrs. Norris.

Under such circumstances, the first-year freshmen are always clustered together in groups of three or five, taking classes together, eating together, and…

Anyway, they were inseparable, as if they were afraid that if they acted alone ~www.readwn.com~ they would be attacked.

Not only that, during this time, everyone kept the teacher's secret, and started to exchange amulets, exorcism, and other things that might be able to protect themselves.

This practice quickly swept the school, and Ginny spent a month's salary on a spiky amethyst.

Clark told her that she was a pure-blood wizard and therefore would not be attacked.

The distressed Ginny then found someone to return the goods, and then traced it all the way, only to find that the supplier was her two brothers, George and Fred.

In addition to these, another thing that interests the little wizards is to guess who is the heir to Slytherin.

To this end, some good people even listed a list of suspects, and even contributed to the "Hogwarts School Journal".

On that list, blood, achievements, fame and strength are used as reference factors.

First was Harry Potter, then a Slytherin prefect, and third was Clark Prewett.
